Ibrãhim said, "There is no harm in reciting a Verse of the Qur'an by a menstruating woman." Ibn 'Abbas considers that there was no harm in the recitation of the Qur'an by a Junub.

Ibn 'Abbas narrated on the authority of AbU Sufyan: Heraclius asked for the letter of the Prophet ; and read it. It began: "In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 0 people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you that we worship none but Allah ... (V.3:64). And 'Atã quoted from Jãbir, " 'Aishah 4; got her menses and she performed all the ceremonies of Hajj except the Tawaf round the Ka'bah and she did not offer $alat (prayers)." A1-Uakam said, "I slaughter the animal even if I were Junub." And Allah j- said: "Eat not (0 believers) of that (meat) on which Allah's Name has not been pronounced (at the time of slaughtering of the animal) ." (V.6:121). 305. Narrated 'Aishah i,a;: We set out with the Prophet for Hajj and when we reached Sarif I got my menses. When the Prophet j came to me, I was weeping. He asked, "Why are you weeping?" I said, "I wish if I had not performed -Iajj this year." He asked, "May be that you got your menses?" I replied, "Yes." He then said, "This is the thing which Allah has ordained for all the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do except that you do not perform the Tawaf round the Ka'bah till you are clean."

Narrated 'Aishah L- i the wife of the Prophet : We set out with Allah's Messenger jW on one of his journeys till we reached Al-Baidã' or Dhãtul-Jaish, a necklace of mine was broken (and lost). Allah's Messenger stayed there to search for it, and so did the people along with him. There was no water at that place, so the I people went to Abu Bakr A-Siddiq and said, "Don't you see what 'Aishah has done? She has made Allah's Messenger i LIZ, and the people stay where there is no water and they have no water with them." AbU Bakr came while Allah's Messenger was sleeping with his head on my thigh, He said, to me: "You have detained Allah's Messenger and the people where there is no water and they have no water with them." So he admonished me and said what Allah wished him to say and hit me on my flank with his hand. Nothing prevented me from moving (because of pain) but the position of Allah's Messenger on my thigh. Allah's Messenger got up when dawn broke and there was no water. So Allah revealed the Divine Verses of Tayammum. So they all performed Tayammum. Usaid bin Uuclair said, "0 the family of AbU Bakr! This is not (1) (Ch .1) Tayammum: To strike lightly the hands over clean earth and then pass the palm of each on the back of the other, blow off the dust and then pass them on the face.

By Allah, whenever anything happened which you did not like, Allah brought good for you and for the Muslims in that."

(3) CHAPTER. The performance of Tayammum by a non-traveller (is permissible) when water is not available and when one is afraid that the time of Salãt (prayer) may elapse. 'Ata' supported that opinion. Al-Ijasan says, "If a patient has water but there is no one to hand it over to him, then he can perform Tayammum ." Ibn 'Umar came from his land at Al-Juruf and the time for the 'Asr prayer became due while he was at Mathadan-Na 'am (sheep-fold), so he (performed Tayammum) and offered Salat (prayer) there, and then entered Al-MadIna when the sun was still high but he did not repeat that Salat. 337.

Ibn 'Abbas led the Salat (prayer) with Tayammum. Yaya bin Sa'id said, "There is no harm in offering a1at on a moorland (a barren salty land) and performing Tayammum with it." 344. Narrated 'lmran Z Once we were travelling with the Prophet and we carried on travelling till the last part of the night and then we (halted at a place) and slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveller in the last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that made us to wake up; and the first to wake up was so-and-so, then so-and-so and then soand-so (the narrator 'AUf said that Abu Raja' had told him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to wake up was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. And whenever the Prophet used to sleep, nobody would wake him up till he himself used to get up as we did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep. So, 'Umar got up and saw the condition of the people, and he was a strict man, so he said, "Allahu-Akbar" and raised his voice with Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet ; got up because of it. When he got up, the people informed him about what had happened to them. He said,

"There is no harm (or it will not be harmful). Depart!" So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the Prophet stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So, he performed the ablution and the call for the Salat was pronounced and he led the people in Salat. After he finished from the Salat, he saw a man sitting aloof who had not offered Salat with the people. He ; asked, "0 so-and-so! What has prevented you from offering Salat with us?" He replied, "I am Junub and there is no water." The Prophet jW, said, "Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you." Then the Prophet ; proceeded on, and the people complained to him of thirst. Thereupon he got down and called a person (the narrator 'Aol added that AbU Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and 'All, and ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water and met a woman who was sitting on her camel between two bags of water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She replied, "I was there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are behind me." They requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?" They said, "To Allah's Messenger k,." She said, "Do you mean the man who is called the Sabi (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the same person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet 0, and narrated the whole story. He said, "Help her to dismount." The Prophet asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured some water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and opened the small ones and the people were called upon to drink and water their animals. So they all watered their animals and they

The woman was standing and watching all that which they were doing with her water. By Allah, when her water bags were returned they looked like as if they were more full (of water) than they had been before. Then the Prophetij ordered us to collect something for her; so dates, flour and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in a piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth full of food-stuff was also placed in front of her and then the Prophet jot said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given water to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "0 so-and-so what has delayed you?" She said, "A strange thing! Two men met me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such and such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between this and this (gesturing with her index and middle fingers raising them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is Allah's Messenger, in truth." Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but never touched her village. One day she said to her people, "I think that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any inclination to Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam. AN 'Abdullah said: The word Saba' means "The one who has deserted his old religion and embraced a new religion." AbUl 'Aliya said, "The Sãbi'an are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the Book (Psalms of Sabi'un) they used to live in 'Iraq. They were neither Jews nor Christians."

(7) CHAPTER. A Junub can perform Tayammum if he is afraid of disease, death or thirst. It is said that once 'Amr bin Al-'As became Junub in a very cold night. He performed Tayammum and recited the following Verse from the Qur'an: "...And do not kill yourself (nor kill one another). Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you." (V.4:29) When that was reported to the Prophet he did not object to it. 345. Narrated AbU Wã'il: Abu MUsa said to 'Abdullãh bin Mas'Ud Zc "If one does not find water (for ablution) can he give up the prayer?" Abdullãh replied, "If you give the permission to perform Tayammum they will perform Tayammum even if water was available, if one of them found it cold." Abe Musã said, "What about the statement of 'Ammãr to 'Umar?" 'Abdullãh replied, "Umar was not satisfied by his statement."

asked the former, "Cl AbU Abdur-Ralman! What is your opinion if somebody becomes Junub and no water is available?" 'Abdullãh replied, "Do not offer Salãt (prayer) till water is found." AbU MUsa said, "What do you say about the statement of 'Ammãr (who was ordered by the Prophet #It to perform Tayammum). The Prophet 0, said to him: "Perform Tayammum and that would be sufficient." 'Abdulläh replied, "Don't you see that 'Umar was not satisfied by 'Ammar's statement?" Abü MUsa said, "All right, leave 'Ammãr's statement, but what will you say about this Verse (of Tayammum)?" 'Abdullah kept quiet and then said, "If we allowed it, then they would probably perform Tayammum even if water was available, if one of them found it (water) cold." The narrator added, "I said to Shaqiq, "Then did 'Abdullah dislike to perform Tayammum because of this?" He replied, "Yes.,,

(He replied in the negative). AbU Musa said, 'What do you say about this Verse from Sarat Al-Ma 'ida: . . .And you find not water then perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands... (V.5:6)' 'Abdullah replied, 'If we allowed it then they would probably perform Tayammum with clean earth even if water

[He (Ammar) said:] I was sent out by Allah's Messenger jW for some job and I became Junub and could not find water so I rolled myself over the dust (clean earth) like an animal does, and when I told the Prophet j of that he said, 'Like this would have been sufficient.' The Prophet (saying so) lightly stroked the earth with his hand once and blew it off, then passed his (left) hand over the back of his right hand or his (right) hand over the back of his left hand and then passed them over his face.' So 'Abdullah said (to AbU Musa), "Don't you know that 'Umar was not satisfied with 'Ammãr's statement?" Narrated Shaqiq: While I was with 'Abdulläh and AbU Musa, the latter said to the former, "Haven't you heard the statement of 'Ammãr to 'Umar? He said, "Allah's Messenger k6, sent you and I out, I became Junub and rolled myself in the dust (clean earth) (for Tayammum). When we came to Allah's Messenger , I told him about it and he said, 'This would have been sufficient,' passing his hands over his face and the back of his hands once only."

8— THE BOOK OFAS-SALAT (The Prayer) (1) CHAPTER. How As-Salat (the prayer) was prescribed on the night of A1-Isra' (miraculous night journey) of the Prophet to Jerusalem (and then to the heavens). Ibn 'Abbas said: Abu Sufyan, when telling the narration of Heraclius, mentioned: "The Prophet ordered us to offer our Salat (prayers) regularly and to be true and chaste." I 349. Narrated AbU Dhar Allah's Messenger #k said, "While I was at Makkah, the roof of my house was opened and Jibril (Gabriel) descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the nearest heaven, when I reached the nearest heaven, Jibril said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' JibrIl answered: 'Jibril.' He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Jibril replied, 'Yes, Muhammad M is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?' Jibril said, 'Yes.' So the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven and there we saw a man sitting with Aswida (a large number of people) on his right and Aswida (a large number of people) on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked toward his left he wept. Then he said, 'Welcome! 0 pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Jibril, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is Adam d and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on his right are the people of Paradise and those on his left are the people of Hell, and when he looked towards his right he laughed and

when he looked towards his left he wept.' Then he ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and he (Jibril) said to its gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven had said, and he opened the gate. Anas said: "AbU Dhar added that the Prophet met Adam, Idris, MUsa (Moses), 'Iesa (Jesus) and Ibrahim (Abraham) he (Abe Dhar) did not mention on which heaven they were but he mentioned that he (the Prophet met Adam on the nearest heaven and Ibrãhim on the sixth heaven." Anas said, "When Jibril, along with the Prophet 4tT passed by Idiis, the latter said, 'Welcome! 0 pious Prophet and pious brother.' The Prophet asked, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is Idris' ." The Prophet added, "I passed by MUsa and he said, 'Welcome! 0 pious Prophet and pious brother.' I asked Jibril, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is MUsa.' Then I passed by 'lesa and he said, 'Welcome! 0 pious brother and pious Prophet.' I asked, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is 'lesa (Jesus) r- -' Then I passed by Ibrahim and he said, 'Welcome! 0 pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Jibril, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is Ibrahim r5The Prophet added, "Then Jibril ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of the pens." Ibri Hazm and Anas bin Malik said: The Prophet said, "Then Allah j- enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on my followers, when I returned with this Order of Allah, I passed by Musa who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty 5alat on them.' MUsa said, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for

reduction), for your followers will not be able to bear it.' (So, I went back to Allah and requested for reduction) and He reduced it to half. When I passed by MUsa again and informed him about it, he said, 'Go back to your Lord as your followers will not be able to bear it.' So I returned to Allah and requested for further reduction and half of it was reduced. I again passed by MUsa and he said to me: 'Return to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So I returned to Allah and He said, 'These are five Salat and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward) for My Word does not change.' I returned to MUsa and he told me to go back once again. I replied, 'Now I feel shy of asking my Lord again.' Then Jibril took me till we reached Sidrat-zd-Mwuaha (lote tree of the utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colours indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small walls (made) of pearls and its earth was of musk (a kind of perfume)."

350. Narrated 'Aishah the Mother of believers: Allah enjoined As-Salat (the prayer) when He enjoined it, it was two Rak'a only (in every Salat) both when in residence or during a journey. Then the Satat

This verdict is based on the Prophet's statement (Abu-DawUd).

I saw the people taking the utilized water impatiently and whoever got some of it, rubbed it on his body and those who could not get any, took the moisture from the others' hands. Then I saw Bilãl carrying an 'Anaza (a spear-headed stick) which he planted in the ground. The Prophet 4kr came out tucking up his red cloak, and led the people in Salat (prayer) and offered two Rak'a (facing the Ka'bah) taking 'Anaza as a Sutra for his Salat. I saw the people and animals passing in front of him beyond the 'Anaza.

(18) CHAPTER. (It is permissible) to offer

Salãt (prayer) on roofs, a pulpit or wood. A1-Uasan finds no objection for one to offer Salat (prayer) over snow or bridges, even if urine were flowing underneath, or over, or in front of them as long as there was a Sutra (any object put in front of the praying person to act as symbolic barrier between him and others) in front of the person. AbU Hurairah L i offered Salat on the roof of the mosque with the Imam, and Ibn 'Umar offered Salat on snow. 377. Narrated Abu Hazim: Sahl bin Sa'd was asked about the (Prophet's ) pulpit as to what thing it was made of? SahI replied, "None remains alive amongst the people, who knows about it better than I. It was made of tamarisk (wood) of the forest. So-and-so, the slave of so-and-so prepared it for Allah's Messenger .. When it was constructed and placed (in the mosque), Allah's Messenger

When it rains the water flows in the valley between me and my people so I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in Salat. 0 Allah's Messenger!

It means that: a) Every Muslim, male or female, is obliged to offer his Salat (prayers) regularly five times a day at the specified times; the male in a mosque in congregation and the female at home. As the Prophet has said: "Order your children for $alãt (prayers) at the age of seven and beat them (about it) at the age of ten."

Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e., small sins)..." (V.11:114). The man asked Allah's Messenger , "Is this instruction for me only?" He said, "It is for all those of my followers (who encounter a similar situation) ."

Whenever he saw the people assembled (for 'is]ia' prayer) he would offer Salãt (prayer) earlier and if the people delayed, he would delay the Salãt. And they or the Prophet used to offer the (1) (H.558) So, this is the similitude of Muslims who accepted Allah's Guidance and the teachings of His Messenger oL , and the similitude of the Jews and Christians who distorted and corrupted their Book and disbelieved in the Prophet who came after 'lesa (Jesus). We notice that the Jews and Christians referred to in this Hadith are different from those referred to in Hadith No.532 for the latter were believers and died before the advent of Muhammad and this is why they are rewarded, while the rewards of the former were given to the Muslims.

The people made a mistake in grasping the meaning of this statement of Allah's Messenger and they indulged in those things which are said about these narrations (i.e., some said that the Day of Resurrection will be established after 100 years etc.) but the Prophet ; said, "Nobody present on the surface of earth tonight would be living after the completion of 100 years from this night"; he meant "When that century (people of that century) would pass away."W

(41) CHAPTER. To talk with the family and the guests after the 'Id' prayer. 602. Narrated AbU 'Uthmãn: 'Abdur Rahmän bin AN Bakr L41 said, "A-uffa companions were poor people and the Prophet Qy, said, 'Whoever has food for two persons should take a third one from them (As-Suffa companions). And whosoever has food for four persons he should take one or two from them' AbU Bakr took three men and the Prophet took ten of them." Abdur Rahmän added: My father my mother and I were there (in the house). (The subnarrator is in doubt whether 'Abdur Rabman also said, 'My wife and our servant who was common for both my house and Abu Bakr's house). AbU Bakr took his supper with the Prophet and remained there till the 'Iã'prayer was offered. AbU Bakr (after the prayer) went back and stayed with the Prophet till the Prophet took his meal and then• AbU Bakr returned to his house (1) (FI.601) This was a sign of Prophethood, for what Allah's Messenger . said was proved, as the last of his companions to die was AbU At-Tufail 'Amir bin Wãthila who died 100 years after the prophecy of the Prophet and he was 110 years old then.

after a long portion of the night had passed. AbU Bakr's wife said, "What detained you from your guests (or guest)?" He said, "Have you not served them yet?" She said, "They refused to eat until you come. The food was served for them but they refused." 'Abdur Ratiman added: I went away and hid myself (being afraid of AbU Bakr) and in the meantime he (Abü Bakr) called me, "0 Ghunthar (a harsh word)!" and also called me bad names and abused me and then said, "Eat! No welcome for you." Then (the supper was served). AN Bakr took an oath that he would not eat that food. The narrator added: By Allah, whenever any one of us (myself and the guests of A-Suffa companions) took anything from the food, it increased from underneath. We all ate to our fill and the food was more than it was before its serving. Abü Bakr looked at it (the food) and found it as it was before serving or even more than that. He addressed his wife (saying) "0 the sister of Bani Firas! What is this?" She said, "0 the pleasure of my eyes! The food is now three times more than it was before AN Bakr ate from it, and said, "That (oath) was from Satan", meaning his oath (not to eat). Then he took a morsel (mouthful) from it and then took the rest of it to the Prophet . So that meal was with the Prophet . There was a treaty between us and some people, and when the period of that treaty had elapsed the Prophet divided us into twelve (groups) (the Prophet's Companions) each being headed by a man. Allah knows how many men were under the command of each (leader). So all of them (12 groups of men) ate of that meal (or said something like that).

i 647. Narrated Abu Hurairah Allah's Messenger ij said, "The reward of the Salat (prayer) offered by a person in congregation is multiplied twenty-five times as much than that of the Salãt offered in one's house or in the market (alone). And this is because if he performs ablution and does it perfectly and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of offering Salãt, then, for every step he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and his one sin is taken off (crossed out) from his accounts (of deeds). When he offers his Salãt, the angels keep on asking Allah's Blessings and Allah's Forgiveness for him as long as he is (staying) at his Miqalla. They say, '0 Allah! Bestow Your Blessings upon him, be Merciful and kind to him.' And one is regarded in Salãt as long as one is waiting for the Salat."

649. Narrated 'Abdulläh bin 'Umar L4i ii: The reward of the congregational Salät is twenty-seven times more (than that of the Salat offered by a person alone). 650. Narrated Salim: I heard Umm AdDarda' saying, "AbU Ad-Darda' entered the house in an angry mood. I said to him, 'What makes you angry?' He replied, 'By Allah! I do not find the followers of Muhammad doing those good things (which they used to do before) except the offering of congregational Salat (prayer)." (This happened in the last days of AbU AdDardA' during the rule of 'Uthmän). 651. Narrated AbU Mflsa Z : The Prophet 4t said, "The people who get tremendous reward for Ac-$a1at (the prayer) are those who are farthest away (from the mosque) and then those who are next farthest and so on.

10— THE BOOK OFA.QHAN

'Umar Z iii and the latter dismissed him and appointed 'Ammar as their chief. They lodged many complaints against Sa'd and even they alleged that he did not offer Salat (prayer) properly. 'Umar sent for him and said, "0 AN Islaq! These people claim that you do not offer Salãt properly." Abü Isliaq said, "By Allah, I used to offer with them a Salãt similar to that of Allah's Messenger . and I never reduced anything of it. I used to prolong the first two Rak'a of 'I.t/ja prayer and shorten the last two Rak'a ." 'Umar said, "0 Aba Isaq, this was what I thought about you." And then he sent one or more persons with him to KUfa so as to ask the people about him. So, they went there and did not leave any mosque without asking about him. All the people praised him till they came to the mosque of the tribe of Bani 'Abs; one of the men called Usama bin Qatada with surname of Aba Sa'da stood up and said, "As you have put us under an oath; I am bound to tell you that Sa'd never went himself with the army and never distributed (the war booty) equally and never did justice in legal verdicts." (On hearing it) Sa'd said, "I invoke Allah for three things: 0 Allah! If this slave of Yours is a liar and got up for showing off, give him a long life, increase his poverty and put him to trials." (And so it happened). Later on when that person was asked how he was, he used to reply that he was an old man in trial as the result of Sa'd's curse. 'Abdul Malik, the subnarrator, said that he had seen him afterwards and his eyebrows were overhanging his eyes owing to old age and he used to tease and assault the small girls on the roads.

(The subnarrator said: I have forgotten what Abu Barza said about the Maglyib prayer).

(105) CHAPTER. To recite aloud in the Fajr (early morning) prayer. And Umm Salama said, "1 was performing Tawaf behind the people while the Prophet , was offering Salat (praying) and reciting Sürat At-Tür. (Surah No. 52) 773. Narrated Ibn 'Abbãs L4L i The Prophet it set out with the intention of going to Suq 'Ukaz (market of 'Uka) along with some of his Companions. At that time, a barrier was put between the devils and the news of heaven. Burning fires were shot at them. The devils went to their people, who asked them, "What is wrong with you?" They said, "A barrier has been put between us and the news of heaven. Burning fires are shot at us." They said, "The thing which has put a barrier between you and the news of heaven must be something which has happened recently. Go eastward and westward and see what has put a barrier between you and the news of heaven." Those who went towards Tihama came across the Prophet ; at a place called Nakhla and it was on the way to Suq 'Ukaz and the Prophet 4Li was offering the Fajr (early morning) prayer with his Companions. When they heard the Qur'an they listened to it and said, "By Allah, this is the thing which has put a barrier between us and the news of heaven." They went to their people and said, "0 our people; verily we have heard a wonderful recital (the Qur'an). It guides to the Right Way and we have

'Umar recited 120 Verses from Sürat Al Baqarah (No. 2) in the first Rak'ã and in the second Rak'a he recited a Sarah from the Mathant (Sarah of less than 100 Verses). Ahnaf recited in the first Rak'a SüratAl-Kalif (No. 18) and in the second Rak'a Sürat Yasuf (Joseph) (No.12) or Surat Yunus (Jonah)

Qatada said about a person who recited one Süruh divided between two Rak'a or repeated the same Sarah in both Rak'a that he can do so as all those Verses are from Allah's Book. 774 (B). Anas said: One of the Ansãr used to lead the Ansar in Salat (prayer) in the Quba' mosque and it was his habit to recite Qul Huwal-lahu Ahad (Say: He is Allah the One) (No.112) (after Surat AlFatiha) (No. 1) whenever he wanted to recite something in Salat. When he finished that Sarah, he would recite another one with it. He followed the same procedure in each Rak'a. His companions discussed this with him and said, "You recite this Sürah and do not consider it sufficient and then you recite another. So would you recite it alone or leave it and recite some other." He said, "I will never leave it and if you want me to be your Imam on this condition then it is all right; otherwise I will leave you." They knew that he was the best amongst them and they did not like someone else to lead them in Salat. When the Prophet went to them as usual, they informed him about it. The Prophet addressed him and said, "0 so-and-so, what forbids you from doing what your companions ask you to do? Why do you read this Sürah particularly in every Rak'a?" He replied, "I love this Sarah." The Prophet ; said, "Your love for this Sarah will make you enter Paradise."

The angels will take them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the (Hell) Fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them, and as a result, they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of a flowing flood-water stream.

And he will give to his Lord (Allah) what he will of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then turn his face from the Fire. When he will face Paradise and will see its charm, he will remain quiet as long as Allah will. He then will say, '0 my Lord! Let me go to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will ask him, 'Didn't you give pledges and make covenants (to the effect) that you would not ask for anything more than what you requested at first?' He will say, '0 my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched amongst Your creatures.' Allah will say, 'If this request is granted, will you then ask for anything else?' He will say, 'No! By Your (Honour) Power! I shall not ask for anything else.' Then he will give to his Lord what He will of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then let him go to the gate of Paradise.

So, the Prophet performed the I'tikaf in the middle (second) ten days of the month of Ramadan and we too performed I'tikaf with him.

He said, "If Allah will, twill do so." Next day Allah's Messenger ; along with AbU Bakr Z i came to my house after the sun had risen high and he asked permission to enter. I gave him permission, but he didn't sit till he said to me, "Where do you want me to offer Salat in your house?" I pointed to a place in the house where I wanted him to offer Salat.
